The Twelfth International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation is the next in a series of meetings held once every three years, under the auspices of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation. This conference, (known as "GR-12"), will be held in Boulder, Colorado from July 2-8, 1989. The subjects of General Relativity and Gravitation have assumed increasing importance in the past decade or so. Ties to High-Energy Particle Physics arise from studies of cosmology and of the early moments in the formation of the universe. New astronomical observations and astrophysical studies make the existence of extremely massive black holes in active galactic nuclei seem very likely. Evidence for black holes in other objects and for the importance of relativistic effects in many astronomical events such as the emission of jets from radio galaxies also exists. Observation of the binary pulsar and of distances to the moon and other planets have permitted very accurate tests of gravitational theory. Development of new techniques for detection of gravitational waves are proceeding. This award will support travel costs for invited speakers and travel funds to support conference participants from the United States.

第十二届国际广义相对论和万有引力会议是国际广义相对论和万有引力学会主办的每三年举行一次的一系列会议中的下一次会议。 这次会议（称为“GR-12”）将于 1989 年 7 月 2 日至 8 日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行。广义相对论和万有引力的主题在过去十年左右的时间里变得越来越重要。 与高能粒子物理学的联系源于对宇宙学和宇宙形成早期时刻的研究。 新的天文观测和天体物理学研究使得活动星系核中极有可能存在极大质量的黑洞。 其他物体中存在黑洞以及相对论效应在许多天文事件（例如射电星系喷流）中的重要性的证据也存在。 对双脉冲星以及到月球和其他行星的距离的观测可以对引力理论进行非常准确的测试。 引力波探测新技术的开发正在进行中。 该奖项将支持受邀演讲者的旅费和支持来自美国的会议参与者的旅费。
